For some reason I'm coveting Kenneth Faried from Morehead State. I'm just a casual internet fan, but I gotta think he's going to do well. The only reason I can see that he didn't go to one of the top programs is that he was academically ineligible initially.

Faried is currently slotted at the #23 spot. Unless we do some trading, we won't have any picks in that area.

He's pretty good, but needs another year in my opinion to polish those skills...to much dribbling, but that is Bielin system I guess.

Sticking at the M another year with the cast they have gets them to Big 10 title game next year and a definite sweet 16 candidate and beyond.

He is listed at #39 in the nbadraft.net's mock draft. The Pistons are slated to draft at #35. I'm not sure how they decide which draft to put the underclassmen. It's probably a lot of guesswork. They have current high school seniors to be the first 7 draft picks taken in the 2012 draft:

It's funny, but I look at the people in the 30-34 grouping like they made some outlandish prediction.

\ Based on the remaining schedule of games, they might get 30 wins. But based on recent play they may fall a couple short and maybe match last seasons' injury riddled team with 27 wins.

When this thread was started the goal was to catch the Pacers for the 8th spot, and the Pistons have gone 1-5 since. In fact both the Pacers and the Pistons are 2-8 in their last 10, so the Pistons should have at least split the last six to gain a couple of games, but they have gained nada and probably won't at this point.
